What it is

Canola oil is made from rapeseed, a plant in the mustard family. Soy oil is made from soybeans, a legume. Both are vegetable oils extracted from the seeds and then refined, bleached, and deodorized for use in food.

Why it's used

These oils are used as cooking oils and as ingredients in a wide variety of processed foods. They provide moisture, texture, and help carry flavors. They are commonly found in baked goods, salad dressings, and fried foods.

Health notes

Both canola and soy oils are considered safe by the FDA and are Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). They are common sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are considered healthy fats. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these oils and found them acceptable for consumption. Some debate exists regarding the processing of these oils and their impact on health, but typical consumption levels are not associated with adverse effects.

Allergen info

Soy oil is derived from soy, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Canola oil is not derived from any of the major allergens.
